Facilitation

IT’S ALL ABOUT CREATING SPACE

Before designing a process, we’ll sit down with you to understand your organization’s needs and what you want to achieve by holding a facilitated session.

A lot of thought goes into creating a facilitated process. We’ll share our draft plans with you to make sure they’re on track. After that, we’ll craft the session so that it’s interactive, enjoyable and has a concrete goal in mind.

DEALING WITH POWER TAKES SKILL

Even organizations with limited hierarchy have to deal with differences in power. Being able to deftly honour and create space for those differences takes skill.

Development Action has the experience necessary to design appropriate processes, as well as the skills to adapt to issues which may emerge during the facilitated session.

Our goal is to create room for all views, with an aim to build consensus and “buy-in” for future activities.

GET TO THE POINT

Good facilitation is more than hosting a meeting – it’s about defining a realistic goal for the session and keeping the process on track. It’s why we put so much emphasis on talking with clients first. By listening to your needs, we’re able to design a process that is creative, yet goal focused.
